The Best Shower Speakers

Finding the best shower speakers is no easy task. There are a lot of things to consider. In our shower speakers reviews, we will look at five waterproof shower speakers using five factors specifically:

IPX Rating

Sound Quality

Battery

Price

Warranty

If you just want but a cool speaker for your awesome shower speaker, then this article is definitely for you.

IPX rating is one of the best, if not the best factor you should be considering if you are looking for a shower speaker that can last you for years. Now in the shower, lots of things can happen such as soap and shampoo falling down and things naturally getting wet. Depending on circumstances, buyers will or should assume that whatever speaker they buy will definitely get wet and at theworsefall down unintentionally.

Sound quality is another important factor that can make or break the game. You don’t just want speakers for functionality. You want them to actually be good at being what they are. Even if you have an indestructible speaker, but sound bad, the product in itself can be considered bad since it is not functioning as a proper speaker. Good sounding bass, mids and lows are the usual things that any speaker enthusiast looks for when hunting for speakers.

Battery. In the past, gadgets were powered by AA, AAA and even bigger types of batteries. They hold a lot of power, but they are also on the heavy side. Now, most portable devices come with Lithium Ion batteries because they are compact and best suited to run the juice on the complicated boards of our current devices.

The last thing that anybody wants to happen is to run out of battery while playing their favorite music in the shower just because it didn’t have enough charge. That isn’t very likely to happen when you are at home.

On the other hand, a person who travels or camps a lot may not have the luxury of charging his devices on site. As such battery is important to users, especially the battery life and charging time.

Price is important, especially for budget users. Now, there are different price ranges for all kinds of gadgets. Waterproof shower speakers are no exceptions. There are thousand dollar-priced speakers and even million dollar ones. It can be said that the price you pay is the worth you get. To a certain extent that may be true, but people do not buy these devices for one-time With relation to price, we also should also consider the specifications. Buyers should ask themselves, for this price, are the specifications and features of this waterproof shower better than everyone else?

Warranty. Even if a portable water speaker only costs $20, if it somehow does not work, the buyer expects the company to either replace it or fix it.

We now look at these waterproof products below the $40 range and try to find out the best in each category, as well as the best overall waterproof shower speaker.

AYL Portable Outdoor and Shower Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker

Features

5-watt audio compared to competitions’ 3-watt drivers

Roughly measuring 3.5 by 3.75 by 1.93 inches

Bluetooth 4.0 technology for universal compatibility

10-33 ft. range

12 hours of continuous music, at 80% volume

3 hours charging time

IPX5

This speaker weighs 9.4 ounces. It is also an IPX5 rated Bluetooth speaker. This particular rating means that this speaker is protected from rushing waters with a speed of 12.5 liters per minute for at least three minutes. Do take note that this rating does not mean that it is submersible.

However, it will withstand accidental drops. It promises up to 12 hours of battery life even at 80% volume. Do take this particular feature with a grain of salt.

This speaker sounds very good in the shower. It can also be used for all kinds of places, such as the beach, the mountain, or the roadway.

One bad thing for this shower speaker comes up when playing audiobooks. Although good for your everyday music listening, this product is not designed for audiobook lovers.

The device comes with Bluetooth 4.0 so pairing it with any Bluetooth enabled device that plays music, should be a breeze.

Compatibility-wise, iPhone, Android or any Bluetooth-enabled laptops and PCS should work on it. The product also offers three years of warranty from date of purchase.

This product’s most notable feature is the warranty. If for some reason, the speaker stops working after three years, AYL SoundFit promises a replacement or a full refund. Now that is something.

Out of 2,268 Amazon reviews, there are 2,051 positive reviews for it and only 217 bad issues. One bad review is the range issue that says that it stops working if the devices connected to it are farther than 10 feet. Not bad for a product on sale.

Play audio from non-Bluetooth device using the included 3.5mm audio cable

NFC connection (NFC function on device required).

Plays mp3 and wav files

Can read TF and micro SD card

Excellent packaging

100% Satisfaction or Full Refund

This speaker is rated at IPX6 boasting that it is splashproof, rainproof, dustproof, sandproof and shockproof. Again, the keyword is proof, so don’t go submerging this speaker in water.

If this military styled outdoor speaker malfunctions or stops working within three years of your purchase, Infinilla offers a full refund and replacement.

Sound-wise, it features Hi-Fi and loud stereo sound coupled with a powerful bass that should work for your home, dorm or even the beach. It sports a strong bass component, as well as a power efficient acoustic driver that ensures a good range of bass, mids and highs.

Its main weakness is its inability to play audiobooks without issues. It only plays two music formats namely mp3 and wav, which is a bummer for real audio enthusiasts.

It features a Bluetooth 4.1 and an NFC compatibility that should work with most devices such as smartphones, kindles and tablets and even those without Bluetooth since it has a 3.5mm jack.

The battery promises up to 12 hours of playtime especially that it has 1500mAh.

Out of 56 Amazon reviews, there are 50 positive reviews for it and only six bad issues. One bad review again is the Bluetooth connectivity which sometimes drops the connection.

It uses a 600mAH lithium ion battery and promises to last for hours. One reviewer from experience says that it lasted six hours for him.

In terms of connectivity, it promises to pair in less than sixseconds and even boasts SIRI compatible. It also says that it can connect to a device up to 33 feet away.

Unlike other devices, it doesn’t say anything so to speak, like when it’s connecting or connected to your device. Instead, it provides sounds in different tones to notify the user of its current status. It is powered by a 3W speaker, which makes it good for everyday use.

It suffers sound quality issuesthough, especially when listening to quiet type music such as jazz. The low battery noise notification is also a redundant mess.

iFox Creations, the seller of this product, offers a one year warranty from date of purchase in case the user dislikes the product, or it stops functioning.

Out of 1321 Amazon reviews, there are 1152 positive reviews for it and only 169 bad issues. One bad review says that it plays only the left channel so it sounds like the speaker is in Mono.

Contains a zinc alloy base which can also reduce the frequency of loss of a good bass.

Excellent mid-range and treble

Tech Acoustics Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker IPX7 Grade

Features

4 x 3 x 3 inches

Weighs 1 pound

IPX7 rating

Up to 13 hours of use per charge

Perfect for biking, hiking, boating and any outdoor use

Compact durable design

Built-in microphone

This speaker by Tech Acoustics features a fully waterproof design up to three meters, thanks to its IPX7 rating. It promises great home use such as in the shower or bedroom, or even outdoor use such as for camping, biking and hiking.

It may have the right number of bells and whistles to command its price. On top of being a durable, rugged and waterproof device, it also promises SIRI integration as well as the usual Bluetooth support to connect with many devices.

In terms of battery life, it requires a maximum of four hours to charge but boasts 13 hours of usage at 30% volume. That is truly not bad for a gadget that only requires one Lithium ion battery.

Tech Acoustics does not specifically state the warranty on the product page, but we can assume that it is at least the usual one year. They also have really good customer service.

One reviewer even mentioned that he contacted Tech Acoustics who replaced his product even when it is already out of warranty.

The sounds cannot be compared with any expensive devices such as Bose or JBL in terms of sound quality. But for its price, it should give you a pleasant experience.

It gives off a nice sounding bass especially if positioned upright or attached to the wall since the bass drivers are positioned right behind the speakers.

Out of 170 Amazon reviews, there are 158 positive reviews for it and only 12 bad issues. One bad review says that the device has some Bluetooth connectivity issue.

It speaks “Connected” but then says “Pairing not completed” which may be annoying if it repeatedly does this if it loses connection.

Foho Outdoor Portable Shower Speaker

Features

It is a small and very light shower speaker, with a sound that, to our surprise, can easily become quite loud.

Its small size will allow you to take it everywhere. Ideal for your trips or your hikes.

Even if it is not completely waterproof, it still has an IPX5 certification, which protects it from splashes, but also shocks and dust: it will not fear the beach or clumsiness of your little one brother!

Equipped with Bluetooth 4.1, it will connect easily to most mobile devices on the market. We tested it on 3 different smartphones and we did not encounter any pairing problem.

Its 800mAh battery gives it a very good autonomy of 10 hours, which will be largely sufficient for a daily use at an average volume. Of course, if you like to listen to loud music, the autonomy will drop to 6-7 hours.

And you will do a good deed in buying it: a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this speaker will go to bullying prevention in school through partner organizations.

SoundBot SB510 HD Water Resistant Shower Speaker

Features

Noise reduction

Cavity structure to ensure a high-defined sound with crisp highs and balanced bass

Water resistant and splashproof (IPX4)

Bluetooth 3.0

Built-in microphone for hands-free calls

Up to 10 meters range

6 hours playback time

3 hours charging time

1 year warranty

Available in 7 different colors

Dimensions: 8 x 12 x 6 inches

Weight: 0.9 lb

This product is one of Amazon’s best sellers and we can easily understand why. It is surely one of the cheapest shower speakers available on the market, and see all that it offers for this very small price: a sound of a very good quality thanks to a specially developed cavity structure design by SoundBot, a built-in microphone for making hands-free calls, a protection against water, even if it is not totally submersible.

The speaker is equipped with a suction cup to fix it on the walls of your shower.

The control buttons are all located in the same place, on the top of the device, which makes it easy to get started: on/off, volume control, track control, play/pause, take or end a call.

A small led will tell you if the device is on and if it is connected with your smartphone or tablet. However, check compatibility, because the version of Bluetooth is only 3.0, which may cause connection problems in some cases…

Our only regret about the SoundBot is its autonomy of only 6 hours. An advantage however: the complete charging of the device takes only 3 hours. Useful if you are in a hurry!

And to fight against monotony, the speaker is available in 7 colors: pink, yellow, blue, green, gray, white and black. Why not buy a different one for each day of the week? 😉

And with a rating of 4 stars on more than 2,000 customer reviews on Amazon, you will not take a lot of risk by choosing this little speaker…

Its coating made of silicone protects it from shocks and it is even completely insensitive to water: you can plunge it completely under water, it will work again! (IPX7).

So you can safely take it with you to the pool or beach, especially since it is also designed to be protected from dust (IP67).

Its Bluetooth 4.0 compatibility allows it to connect in seconds to all recent mobile devices, which was the case during our tests.

It also has a function few shower speakers are provided with: an FM radio, with automatic detection and memorizing stations.

Asiyun Waterproof Shower Speaker

Features

3W output power

IPX7 rating

Bluetooth 2.1

Bluetooth range: 10 meters

2-3 hours playing time

2-3 hours charging time

Dimensions: 3.5 x 3.1 x 2 inches

Weight: 2.4 ounces

Detachable suction cup

Aluminium hook

Built-in microphone for hands-free calls

Available in 2 colors: blue and red

Very low price

4.5 stars rating on Amazon

Given its price, this little speaker offers a lot: 3W of output power, which is largely enough to offer a sound of good quality (do not push the volume too much however), an IPX7 certification (in theory, you can dive it into the water, even if the manufacturer advises against it, I do not know why …), a built-in microphone to make calls without hands (practical in the shower!).

And its solid hard plastic design will not make it afraid of accidental drops.

One small flaw, however: the battery only gives it a longevity of a few hours (it’s a small battery of only 400mAh of power). Not enough if you take it on a picnic, but more than enough for your daily shower.

Amazon customers have not been mistaken: this shower speaker has 4.5 stars on more than 300 customer reviews.

The Boom Swimmer is a nomadic little speaker with a very ingenious flexible arm that allows it to be fixed anywhere: on a backpack, on a bicycle handlebar, on a tree… You can also put it on a flat surface. It is also delivered with the traditional suction cup, for use in a wet environment.

A little surprise, there are no play or pause buttons. You must simultaneously press both volume buttons to achieve this function.

The Polk Boom Swimmer offers the advantage of being compact and especially very light: 5.5 inches high with the suction cup and less than 7 ounces.

In terms of audio quality, it is average. As for the power, no need to push to the maximum volume to enjoy it properly.

Bluetooth 4.2

Bluetooth range: up to 20 meters

Dimensions: 2.32 x 6.69 x 2.2 inches

Weight: 0.84 lb

5 stars reviews on Amazon

Tribit is a young company founded by a collective of sound engineers and designers, for whom “music never stops” (according to their website). They market Bluetooth speakers and Bluetooth headsets.

If you’re looking for high definition sound right under your shower, the Tribit XSound Go is the one to go for. With its 2x6W power, dual drivers and a passive bass radiator, you will feel like listening to music in your living room!

In terms of battery life, it is simply the most powerful speaker that we could test, with 24 hour-playtime! Yes, a full day of uninterrupted music! This is made possible by an impressive 4400mAh battery.

The Tribit speaker is IPX7 certified, which means that it is perfectly waterproof. It does not fear accidental flooding in the bath or pool!

It also has Bluetooth 4.2, which allows it to have a range of 20 meters! Suffice to say that your music will never stop (unless you live in a castle, but in this case you can afford to buy several speakers!).

Gaoye Outdoor Bluetooth Speaker

Features

Water-resistant: IPX5 certification

5W audio driver

Bluetooth 4.2

Up to 16 hours playback time

Dimensions: 2.95 x 5.24 x 1.22 inches

Weight: 6 ounces

Mini SD card reader

We especially appreciated the design of this speaker, which makes it easily fit in a pocket or backpack. It is small but yet sturdy, you won’t fear dropping it by accident (but don’t do that too much!).

However it is not completely waterproof: It has a IPX5 certification only, which means that it does not fear splashes or a small fine rain, but do not drop it in your bath or pool, it will not survive!

Its Bluetooth range is particularly important: more than 20 meters (in an unobstructed environment).

We also enjoyed the great longevity of its battery: about 16 hours of listening on a full charge. This is much higher than most of the shower speakers currently on the market (which have more or less an average of 8 hours of autonomy).

Another significant feature is the ability to use an SD card, if you do not have Bluetooth near you or do not want to use it.

Have we talked about the sound? It is is more than correct, even at high volume. You will also enjoy deep and rich bass, which gives a living aspect to the sound and will make you want to sing or dance in the shower!

Conclusion

The speaker by AOWOTO has an IP5 rating, ensuring waterproof and dustproof capabilities, while the speaker by Tech Acoustics provide the best waterproofing of the bunch, allowing up to 30 minutes incidental exposure of water up to a meter of depth.

So, if you use it more for the shower and other wet areas like lakes and beaches, go for the Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker IPX7 Grade by Tech Acoustics.

If you want a more general purpose speaker, go for AOWOTO’s Outdoor Shower Ultrathin Waterproof Wireless Portable Bluetooth Speaker.

Reading a lot of other reviews shows that Bluetooth connectivity is still a big issue for a lot of devices. Providing a cabled alternative when you just want to play some music is a seriously offer.

The best in battery goes to Infinilla Waterproof Bluetooth Speakers. It has a 1500mAh, which is the largest battery capacity of these five speakers. Even if a lot of these speakers boast up to 12 hours of playing time, having a large battery ensures that you enjoy more time

The overall winner is Infinilla Waterproof Bluetooth Speakers. It is currently the best sounding speaker of the bunch. The IPX6 rating also ensures that it can withstand the daily shower routine. It’s only major downside is that it doesn’t play audiobooks very well.

I did not know that these were an actual thing. Till my daughter mentioned it to me the other day. She wants me to buy her one. So I like any good parent should. I went and got on the internet and started looking and reading reviews for a shower speaker. I’m so glad I did and my daughter is too. She says thank you because without this review she may not have gotten her shower speaker any time soon.

Very Precise and Detailed information and I can tell you that I thought of my brother right away. Even though he’s in his 50’s I can remember him as a teen singing and singing in the shower, talking in the shower, etc. I might have to get him one for the holidays. Thanks for sharing your site with the world.

Music is an essential part of our lives. We love it so much that we want to bring it anywhere even in the shower. That’s the good thing about portable speakers. Whether you try one listed on this article or not, just make sure it’ll satisfy you. And most importing thing is a good wireless audio performance.
